It would benefit me greatly to be able to use the M8 during my work trips, so I'm trying to learn and stick with it this time. This is the second week in a row which is the longest streak ever for me!
Aside from just trying to get more comfortable with navigation and arrangement on the M8, this time I focused what time I had on:
- Some sound design (I just can't get it to sound the way I want to).
- Hypersynth in particular. The bass and the chords are hyper synth and maybe one of the plucks. I had another pad like chord too but I deleted it in favor of making my own granular sample on the Torso S4 before I left.
- This is the first time that I've tried to use the limiter on the M8. No clue what the levels are like cause I have no metering tools with me!
Was unhappy with the track from early on but needed to stick with it to have time to finish anything at all. Good news is that it was another week of good learnings.
extra notes based on comment section below:
- there are additional whale sounding things that are just samples. don't want people to think I created all sounds in this but me doing over a handful of them is a lot for me!
